District of ColumbiaD.C. briefly excluded tax credit rental units from rent stabilization
For up to 90 days after the Mayor's October 2025 approval, units whose providers received Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program credits fell outside D.C. rent stabilization rules.
What it does
D.C. rent stabilization did not cover rental units whose housing providers received credits through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. The emergency act lasted no longer than 90 days.
Argument forHousing providers receiving these tax credits may have had fewer D.C. rent rules to follow for covered units.
Argument againstTenants in covered units may have faced larger rent increases while D.C. rent stabilization rules did not apply.
More detail
D.C. excluded covered rental units from rent stabilization. A unit was covered when its housing provider received credits through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. The act took effect following the Mayor's October 23, 2025, approval and could remain in effect for no longer than 90 days.
